#19 - Why You Feel Overwhelmed All the Time (and Why “Balance” Isn’t the Answer)
from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate
In this episode of The Athlete Mom Project, we talk about why the idea of balance keeps so many people stuck — and why aiming for harmony and peace is often a more sustainable goal. “Balance” is often framed as having everything perfectly aligned at all times. But real life doesn’t work that way — especially during motherhood, demanding seasons, or periods of growth. This episode explores why chasing balance can create frustration and guilt, and how shifting toward harmony allows for more flexibility, self-trust, and peace. We talk about: why balance is an unrealistic standard how the pursuit of balance creates pressure what harmony actually looks like in real life the difference between chasing happiness and cultivating peace how to move through busy seasons without feeling like you’re failing Rather than trying to keep everything equal, this conversation invites you to think about alignment — knowing what deserves your energy right now, and allowing that to change over time. Peace isn’t found by doing everything perfectly. It’s found by releasing unrealistic expectations and learning how to move with life instead of against it. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or frustrated by the idea of “finding balance,” this episode offers a new lens — one that supports growth without guilt. 🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast If this episode helped you, please rate, review, and share it with a mom who’s trying to lift while raising kids. 🔗 Resources & Links 📖 Read the full breakdown of this Podcast episode on my Substack 👉 [Read it Here] 🏔️ Join the Athlete Mom Project Course Training that fits motherhood — without burnout, all-or-nothing, or sacrificing family life. 👉 [ Learn More Here ] 📲 Learn More About Coaching Programs 👉 Inquire About Coaching Programs Here 💪🏻 Connect with me on Instagram 👉 [@withchanyoucan]
